Default Too lazy to check for codes

I have had my 02 vert over a year now and the last month the ride seems to have gotten worse. I feel all the bumps much more than before. I have not checked yet to see if it is throwing codes, but has anyone else experienced this? My car now has 17,000 miles on it and it is not abused.

Are you driving on run flats? If so that's most likely the culprit, the get louder and harsher with wear. (So I'm told)

The most obvious things to check would be shocks and tires - are the tires properly inflated? Remember that as temps drop, so does the pressure in the tires. Do you see any leeaking around the shocks?

I think you should sell the car you aren't smart enough to drive a Vette.
Just kidding, your car prolly has magnetic selective ride control F55 and your switch is in Sport.
